Hi all I have LM 8.1 setup with an adsl connection networked and sharing the net connection to 2 win machines. I'm having problems setting up samba and firewalling and ftp services properly.
1) How can I tell which processes are running... I have read about samba and learn that it doesn't necessarily start up auto at boot time.. how can I tell whether it is running somewhere in the background? Also, when I try to test it the localhost doesn't seem to be setup correctly.. it's unknown.. omg.. how can localhost be unknown? but it is.. what have I done wrong here.. 2) this relates to number 1 in the sense that I have plenty of ways of configuring a 'firewall' available to me however I don't know which firewall is being used (whether more than 1 is actually running?!) etc.. I just installed the whole of LM with all options ticked when I installed it and notice that it says starting bastille firewall as it boots up.. again, which one is being used and how can i tell ? (any suggestions for which firewall would be best accepted thankfully!) 3) I have full web and ftp services.. and while I'm happy(ish) with the web hosting (although it hasn't been tested as being crack proof - and no doubt isn't with current settings!) I am definitely NOT happy with the ftp setting.. AGAIN, how can I tell which ftp proggy is giving the box the ftp service? I can ftp in from a remote comp, however, if i use a user account on the LM box as the login then I can literally go round the whole file system.. eek.. i don't want this.. instead some way of making it only present a folder or two of my choosing would be safer.. I know it's a lot to ask of this list.. and it's a long email to read (made even longer by these few words).. but if i can get some help here it would be much appreciated as I really want to use linux (apache etc) instead of IIS <spits to one side> Neil --------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
